I've got one as well, but a word of warning to other's considering the T30.
Models sold in America and Europe (generally) do not "function like a USB device" - i.e. as a UMS - USB Mass Storage device, though the version sold elsewhere in the world apparently does.
Instead, they use MTP (Microsoft's Terrible Protocol;) making it generally a pig to get working with Linux. (I'm sure google or wikipedia will give you the real definition;-)
Models sold elsewhere (Asia, etc.) apparently are shipped as proper UMS devices.
It's possible to flash it's firmware to "fix" this, and making it a proper UMS device, but in doing so, I believe you lose the ability to play DRMd music. (That's what I've done with mine.) Google will give you a link.
I've also got a T20 - same issues, though not tried flashing it yet.
Or perhaps it's more an indication of how well Wine is progressing thanks to the efforts of the Wine developers.
I'd be very surprised if they are getting significant help or pre-releases from the publishers, but as work on Wine progresses, and they cover more and more of the Windows API's, there should be fewer gaps that need to be fixed with the release of each new game.
Ultimately, as Wine approaches 100% compatibility, there might be very little for companies like Transgaming to do. How close we'll ever get to that 100%, of course, is a matter of opinion, but as a very happy CrossoverOffice customer, I'll be very interested in the result.
Actually, Yahoo do produce clients for both Linux and BSD, so I guess they do want such users to be able to chat.
Of course, there client isn't very good (compared to their Windows client), but that's another story.
Very much appreciated. With all the use of flash and embedded players these sites insist on using these days, it's non-trivial to find an actual download link for the.mov file, at least using my bog-standard MDK9.1 KDE install at work.
Your torrent lets me just ssh home, and kick off the download so it's waiting for me when I return. I imagine plenty of others would feel the same.
As I say, much appreciated.
(A bunch of posts explaining how stupid I am for not being able to do make MDK "just work" will, no doubt, follow!)
His argument is quite valid.
Sure, you can configure compilers as narrowly as you like, but in most cases, compliation will be targeted at the lowest common denominator.
If your compiling for yourself, you have the luxury of building for your own CPU. This isn't the case here.
Why do you think Linux binary rpm's, for years, were compiled for 386 chips. It's only recently that some (all?) distributions have started distributing 586 based rpms.
The point is, Java can make this decision at run-time, and hence target the actual CPU. C++ code can not (without a lot of pain, at least).

But Spock is a nerds nerd. If he was living now instead of the 24th century, he'd be saying "GNU Linux".
Q) Do you come here often?
;-)
A) Oh yes - every 5 mins or so while the boss isn't looking.
Q) Haven't I seen you here before?
A) No, but you might have read my blog.
Q) What's a nice girl like you doing at a nerdy place like this?
A) I'm not.
No, it's clear, they don't work in the real world, and they ain't gonna work in the on-line world.

So when you go visit your girlfriend in Edinburgh, after 3 hours on the train, the first thing you do is jump on-line? ;-)
You must be a regular here.
There's no need to be abusive. ;-)
Bad luck, looks like your too late. Still, try contacting IBM or RedHat - they may have some alternative suggestions on where to insert it. ;-)
